If you are experiencing one or more of these problems, TAKE ACTION NOW to protect yourself and your property:
- you are behind on your mortgage and in risk of default
- you have received a notice of default or notice of trustee sale (foreclosure)
- you have been sued by a creditor
- your wages are being garnished
- your bank account has been levied or frozen
- creditors have placed liens on your property
- you are being harassed by debt collectors
- your credit score has plummeted due to nonpayment of debts
When you took on debts, you fully intended to repay them. But sometimes, life does not work out as planned. Long periods of unemployment, illness, disability, divorce and the loss of a spouse are common reasons for the inability to repay debts. Each of us deserves the opportunity to put misfortunes and mistakes behind us.
In 1934, the United States Supreme Court summarized the purpose of bankruptcy:
One of the primary purposes of the Bankruptcy Act is to relieve the honest debtor from the weight of oppressive indebtedness, and permit him to start afresh free from the obligations and responsibilities consequent upon business misfortunes…. The purpose of the act has been again and again emphasized by the courts and being of public as well as private interest, in that it gives to the honest but unfortunate debtor… a new opportunity in life and a clear field for future effort, unhampered by the pressure and discouragement of preexisting debt. -Local Loan Co. v. Hunt 292 U.S. 234 (1934)
